By default, this option is unchecked, the locale value for these OS is zh_Hans_CN. Once this option is checked, the locale value for these OS is zh_CN and DASH components for JazzSM can be accessed and displayed in Chinese correctly. No additional code changes needed in DASH.

Welcome to DASH to Evaluate!

In these series of blogs, we will showcase new features and
give you a chance to provide feedback.

Today, we will look at a custom dashboard being designed for JazzSM administrators.
This dashboard is a quicker way to present information on our SMC site to the consumer without leaving the console
to perform the search.

We are assuming that administrators have access to an external network before accessing this dashboard.
The dashboard displays a summary of the need to know information about DASH.

Please take a look and let us know what's good, what's bad, and what's missing?
All comments will be taken into consideration for the final design.

Issue with DASH Widget functionality: If any issues noticed that if some features works on one machine and not working on other machine, in those cases recommendation is to reinstall supported versions of IE/Firefox

We come across above issue in recent past and we solved the issue by reinstalling recommended browsers.

In response to a question asked by Bheemanagouda about the video

How to use the webservices policy from Netcool Impact to JAZZSM Dashboard,
that would be great help from your side if i got that one.

This answer came from Yasser with Netcool Impact development.

To get webservice policy into JazzSM Dash
1) Create the WebService policy as normal.
2) Create an Array Of Impact Object variable in the policy and feed it with the data you want, ie
Weather = {};
obj =NewObject();
obj.city = "MyCity";

obj2=NewObject();
obj2.city="MySecondCity";

Weather = {obj,obj2};

3) Create an output parameter for Weather to expose in the DASH
4) Create a DASH page for that output parameter
And you should be able to view the weather info in the table widget.

More from Yasser on this topic

To create an output parameter for Weather object

1) Open the policy
2) Click "Configure User Parameters" button to open the configuration page
3) In the configuration click "New Output Parameter:"
4) In the popup window:
Enter:
Name: Weather
Policy Variable Name: Weather
Format: Array Of Impact Object
Schema Definition: it will become required, click on the button to open the schema definition configuration page.
In my policy above, I have only one field which is city in the objects.
You will need to create an entry for every field in the objects.
5) Save save and close all the configuration pages.
The output parameter should be available to the UI Data Provider after default max of 5 minutes.
Then you can create the page.

Integrating Netcool/Impact data with JazzSM Dashboard

So, you have Netcool/Impact, you have some data, you have JazzSM, and you need
to get that data from Impact into a JazzSM Dashboard.

I have some great news for you! There is a wonderful tutorial on how to use
a Netcool/Impact Policy to pull that data from your database and display that data
in a JazzSM Topology widget on a dashboard.

Yasser Abduallah, a Netcool/Impact developer, has created a tutorial video on how to do just that.

It is a very guided, step-by-step video one how to create the policy that pulls in the data from the database
to integrate with a widget within JazzSM.
You will also learn how to connect to the Impact provider from JazzSM connections page.
And how to configure the toplogy widget to use the data from the Impact provider.
